Case StudyThe MSP Growth Hub
Channel & Events Manager
What seven years of trusted partnership looks like
The relationship: Stuart Warwick first approached me in August 2020, just as I was building my freelance practice. He was creating something ambitious: a coaching business specifically for MSP owners who wanted to grow. He needed someone who understood the channel, could hit the ground running, and could help build his brand. Nearly seven years later, I'm still part of his team.
When Stuart partnered with Ian Luckett in 2022 to form The MSP Growth Hub formally, I came with them. What started as a freelance engagement has become a genuine partnership.
What I do: Over the years, my remit has spanned the full breadth of their marketing and brand operations:
Full end-to-end events management: planning, logistics, materials, on-site delivery and post-event communications
Podcast management: maintaining a rolling bank of pre-recorded episodes, guest scheduling, vetting and production coordination
Monthly newsletter and channel communications
Website content updates
Case Study & Testimonial creation
Social media presence across platforms
Member and vendor spotlight content
This isn't occasional project work. It's ongoing, embedded, operational marketing partnership; exactly what fractional support should look like when it's working properly.
What this proves: Stuart and Ian hired me as a freelance consultant and I’m still part of their team some seven years later. In a market where MSPs are rightly sceptical of marketing consultants who talk a good game but disappear after the first invoice, this relationship is the most direct evidence I can offer of what consistent, trusted, long-term partnership actually looks like.
